DAILY POEM "BLOGGERS UNITE"

I love coming to your blog
the reading is always exciting
but when it comes to commenting
my nails are flawed by biting.

The posts are superbly done
all different with each new day
the World has a lot to offer
folks have so much to say.

Part of being a good blog friend
is visiting whenever you can
sometimes this isnt possible
as are all good things you plan.

You get used to your readers
enjoy what they have to say
sometimes you get sad when they cannot show
religously each day.

But then you get a visit
and they catch up on your posts
thats what you call reliable readers
not internet ghosts!

It is not the end of the World
if a reader doesnt appear
don't get upset or angry
they are somewhere maybe not here.

Things that do annoy you
are when people take it to heart
remember this is a sharing World
and friends may be apart.

When you comment on a poster
be kind try not to upset
people don't appreciate badness
or horrible comments they get.

If you cannot be kind don't comment
pass by and visit another
who knows who is posting today
it could be a friend or your Mother.

The blog is like a newspaper
only its more personal to YOU
people spill their daily lives
even when they are sad or blue.

I use my blog to spread my work
bring poetry and stories to life
not write of things that will upset
cause animosity or strife.

The only thing I can complain about
is word verification, its a pain
if I am not getting the word wrong
its a pain in my eyes, a strain.

I have been reading a lot lately on some blogs about people complaining of bad comments going on their blogs and also people not visiting them, I think there is some validity in the fact if u are good enough to visit a blog and take time to comment on other peoples work, then they should have the graciousness to return the compliment and visit YOU, however if they don;t then its not the end of the World, move on, as for the bad comments, my opinion is ALWAYS moderate them, that way they do not go on your site without YOU reading them first, the very best way to feel comfortable of getting decent comments.Lets keep our community HAPPY, if I do not like a post, or have views which would maybe upset the poster, then through experience I just miss that post and carry on to another, that is the choice we have.

What a RELEVANT , HONEST and WISE post, William!You are so right,you know how silly I am with my memes. I am able to be someone else when I do it.. kind of like a riot for me.LOL.

Initially, I DO visit EVERYONE ,leaving more than just a HI ,then I was picked on for SPAMMING... lol.. but you know what? You are so right, NOWADAYS, I just do WHATEVER I enjoyed doing and sharing with MY FRIENDS and readers. If those I visit , do not visit me back, I try to ignore but then.. I am not perfect too, so I do forgive.. we are only human , right?

You have a great evening, William.

I have been ok except not being able to sleep. You know how it is having a sick child.

Dear William: The poem is amazingly sensitive and plainly right on! The beauty in your work is like the rose, a thing of such simple beauty yet most profound. Edinburgh sounds like a lovely town. Robbie Burns is from Scotland! Keep up your poetry writing bright tiger!

Yes ..I agree...it can happen anytime, that we see a post that may offend or trigger some negative emotion...then move on...why not...??..I also see a lot of drama around lately...it really doesnt surprise me..but I am still a little inquisitive about the nature of such childlike behavior...and what about the ones who leave bad comment anonymously...that is another issue all together...as always, great and interesting verse..Im Glad I met you William..!

I believe that it is not absolutely necessary to comment on every blog that visits you, because there is always a chance that you may not be interested in their topic of choice. For example, a lot of my friends have blogs about parenting. I cannot force myself to try to make a comment on a blog that doesn't help me or that I can't relate to. I try my best but ultimately, I have no interest in potty training/teaching kids to tell the time/what food they can eat at which stage in their infancy. But the writers of the blog may still have an interest in that I do. I always visit blogs who visit me, but there isn't always something I feel I can add :S

But I would NEVER write something mean. I agree, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything *lol*

what a true post for sure. I do not like to hear when people are rude to other bloggers in their comments. It is not their blog and if they do not have something nice to say then just keep going. I love to read and get to know people and read about them. I try my best to get by and see everyone I can. I have become attached to some people and enjoy talking with them daily.. Guess what you are one of those.. Have a great day my friend..

I'm pretty sure you know how I feel about blogs and blogging :) I've written in great detail about it! I don't like word verification either but it does keep out the spammers. I don't moderate because I'm too lazy LOL

Well, I don't have a blog, but I enjoy visiting and give encouragement to as many poeple as I can. The price of putting a smile on someone's face, or sunshine in their hearts don't cost a dime, all it cost is a few minutes of your time. I don't read or comment on posts that isn't written in good taste. Sample: maybe I will get several poems from the same blogger who I visit a lot, but one of the poems in my opinion isn't in good taste. I just simply comment on the poems in good taste and skip over the one that isn't. I try to always remember what I don't like there will be others who do, and I wouldn't want to say anything that would discourage anyone from thinking bad of a bloger or stop visiting them. We never know what a person is facing and going through in a day, so don't say or do anything that will add to their pain. Since I don't have a blog maybe I should keep my opinions to myself, but you ask for it didn't you Billy? LOL

Oh yes, one more thing Billy, I agree with you with everything you said, nice poem about it. I love your sign below. "Your comment will be visible after approval." I think after awhile this would discourage any rude people to come to a blog. Nobody can see what they have to say so they would soon say "Why Bother? Right Billy?

I believe that a person takes a lot of time and thought in blogging. I believe they should do their best to visit other blogs and comment, if time allows. If not everyday...maybe at least once or twice a week. I do my very best to reply to all comments. It does get hard at times..and I may miss someone sometimes, but I do appreciate the visits. I think we should all be as one in blogging! Nice post! :)

Viola u may not have your own blog but u comment on more blogs than I can count so off course u are entitled to your say, I am sure all the bloggers would agree your opinion is very valuable, thanks dear xx

First, I really enjoyed the poem, the words, structure, and rhyme were wonderful. The message is such a wonderful message, and one that I hope many people would know and hear.If I could, I would visit other blogs everyday. I get as much enjoyment out of reading as I do writing poetry. Although unfortunately, my passion must come after responsibility, so my visits cannot be everyday. But I too try to get back to everybody who visits me.

One of the best things about blogging I think is the sense of community - no matter where we each might be in the world, what we love, connects us all - and that is a beautiful thing indeed.

One idea that stuck in my mind from your poem, William, is the role of technology in saving us time. Have you ever noticed though, that some of our supposed "time-savers" can cost us so MUCH time when things go wrong (think hard drive failure, etc.)
